Back then there would only be one way to do that - set the tape to run fast and sing it, then when the tape is slowed back to the normal speed you have the low vocals. These days it's easy with digital manipulation.

I am not sure it was like that, because I played it on Audacity, ran it faster, but was not able to hear Rogers voice. It still sounded like another guy.

Perhaps someone could ask him at his facebook site.

Around a similar sort of time was the intro to One Vision, does THAT sound like Freddie and Brian?

We know it is, but I think they did dick around with the tape a bit.

I also think it might be fair to say that some of the vocals on People On Streets (Mashed) don't sound particularly like Roger, (OK, maybe after a six month holiday in the Caribbean, then), but they ARE credited to Arty, which he later confirmed is the phonetics for RT.

I always thought that Two Sharp Pencils would have gone down a storm in the clubs at the time & maybe could have turned into one of those Underground hits that turns massive through word of mouth & then gets into the U.K. charts (a bit like Freddie's Remix of ' Living on my own ')
